  • PER120 The testimony of the family of Jesus the Messiah

    This article explores the strained relationships between Jesus, his family and the religious authorities, drawing mainly on the Gospel according to Mark. While describing his family's initially skeptical view, it highlights the dynamics with the Pharisees and the later conversion of some family members after the resurrection.

    Mark 3.20-21 (King James Version) :
    And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

  • PER206 The Feast of Tabernacles

    Pericope 206 deals with the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), reported only by John (7.2-10). Jesus decides to go up secretly to Jerusalem in October AD 32, six months before his arrest. John reveals the tension with the religious authorities and the unbelief of Jesus’ brothers, elements absent from the Synoptic Gospels.

    John 7.1 (King James Version) :
    After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

  • PER207 The disagreement between the Master and his brothers

    John 7.3-9 recounts the tension between Jesus and his brothers before the Feast of Sukkot (October AD 32). Not understanding the messianic mission, they urge him to show himself publicly in Jerusalem. Jesus chooses caution, aware of the risk of arrest. Mary keeps in the background. This episode, found only in John, illustrates the family's incomprehension of the divine nature of Jesus, as the conversion of his brothers takes place only after the resurrection.

    Acts 1.14 (King James Version) :
    These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

  • PER208 Departure for Jerusalem and final departure from Galilee

    PER208 describes the final departure of Jesus and his disciples from Galilee on October 3, AD 32, on their way to Jerusalem for the Feast of Sukkot. Following Luke's account, they pass through Samaria rather than taking the usual route along the Jordan. They arrive on Friday evening, October 8, teach on the Temple Mount, and Jesus gives his discourse on water at Hoshana Rabbah on October 13. The group will remain in the Jerusalem region for six months, until the Passover of April 1, AD 33.

    Matthew 19.1 (King James Version) :
    And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
